Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2,3
Rationale: Appropriate interventions for this nurse include scheduling additional education on bereavement care, asking a seasoned nurse to talk about the situation with the novice nurse, and telling the nurse it is ok to grieve with the family. Recommending a transfer and assigning the nurse to only stable clients are not appropriate interventions to support the novice nurse.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,2
Rationale: A client who is experiencing decreased peripheral circulation will have cool, mottled skin. While CheyneStokes respirations may indicate death is approaching, this is not indicative of a decrease in peripheral circulation. Increased agitation indicates decreased perfusion to the brain. A client will not experience increased urine output near the end life.
